Regarding appeal to futility.
Flash has it's own programming language in it. On every OS. On i686, amd64 and
now ARM. It stores your data in a local db. It's on every web page.
How could you ask for more attack vectors?
Sandboxing the plug-in from your system fixes it I believe. It's so futile
No real clue how Adobe will counter Flash 5. Perhaps they can use it as an
opportunity to trim the beast down.

From Andrew Auernheimer's Diary / irc memories:
Windows is written in pure, self-modifying assembly code. Notice how you can
install 15 gigs of data from a single Windows install DVD, which can only hold
5 gigs? This is because the code is dynamically generated to minimize attack
vectors.
